I had to make a difficult decision quickly. I think 5 months ago with my roommates it happened because of the cleaning process in our house. When we entered the house we had to choose one day for the week to clean the house because we are 3 days late. and we have to do the cleaning. But when I chose the rest of the day to clean, the other two didn’t choose any desk for the cleaning. But one girl, she did her cleaning for a month like that but the other one didn’t do anything. She always talking about the problems in our house without doing anything. And one day I wanted to clean because it’s my turn and when I want to clean, I asked from them can I clean the house by 30 minutes and they said that yeah okay you can clean When I’m cleaning that old lady, she asked me can you stop because I won’t be able to eat. At that time I said ok you can eat but I have to finish it because the floor is wet. And after that she got angry and she blamed me. After I called my parents and I said all the things in this house are problems. and after my father talked with that elder lady and after that she said that okay we will resolve this problem with us don’t involve you like that and after that I said okay I will not talk with you because I don’t like to talk to you and I stayed calm and without talking with them but that old lady always come to argue with me and asked a question about me. It’s very bothering and disturbing me because I don’t like that.

I had to make a difficult decision quickly. I think it was about five months ago with my roommates, and it happened because of the cleaning process in our house. When we entered the house, we had to choose one day of the week to clean because we were three days late, and we needed to do the cleaning. When I chose the rest of the day to clean, the other two didn't choose any day for cleaning. One girl did her cleaning for a month like that, but the other one didn't do anything. She was always talking about the problems in our house without doing anything. One day, it was my turn to clean, and when I wanted to clean, I asked them if I could clean the house for 30 minutes, and they said, 'Yeah, okay, you can clean.' While I was cleaning, that old lady asked me if I could stop because she wouldn't be able to eat. At that time, I said, 'Okay, you can eat, but I have to finish because the floor is wet.' After that, she got angry and blamed me. I called my parents and told them about all the problems in the house. After my father talked with that elderly lady, she said, 'Okay, we will resolve this problem among ourselves; don't involve you like that.' After that, I said, 'Okay, I will not talk with you because I don't like to talk to you,' and I stayed calm and didn't talk with them. But that old lady always came to argue with me and asked questions about me. It was very bothersome and disturbing because I didn't like that.
